My husband just marched into the kitchen to tell me he thinks the first of September should mark ‘open season on these cunts’ and only people who know Neil can possibly grasp how funny that sounded 🤣🤣🤣
As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

What the fuck has the UK become? This is totalitarianism. Utterly deplorable.
When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested. His ‘crime’? Three gender-critical tweets. As Graham says in his Substack: “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer”. Graham’s single bail condition is that he does not go on X. We do not believe Graham’s arrest or the bail conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all the way in his fight against these preposterous allegations and the disproportionate response from the police.

The police are only interested in tweets threatening or inciting violence against women if the ‘women’ in question have dicks.
From a locked account, hope she won’t mind me sharing - ‘I can’t help but remember the time activists bombarded me with messages threatening to behead me and chop off my clitoris and the police said it wasn’t bad enough to warrant action. Graham wrote a few banal jokes and he gets the full ISIS treatment.’

This is our incredibly brave colleague, and friend Karen who has recently shared her story with the media. We are so proud of her and feel privileged to have her stand with us ❤️
(1) MAJOR BREAKING STORY ON THE DARLINGTON NURSES This is why it is untenable for men to have access to female changing rooms in the NHS. Karen Danson, a Darlington nurse, anonymous until now, has gone public on her chilling story on how, after saying that she has experienced childhood abuse, NHS bosses still said she should get undressed in front of a man who identifies as a woman, and would even have forced her to have ‘Rose’ assist in her gynaecology operation. Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Karen's story demonstrates how far the NHS has been prepared to go to uphold gender identity ideology and compromise the basic safety and dignity of female staff and patients. Watch this promo of Karen's story, especially for the 'but Rose is a woman' line at the end. Her story is breaking in the Mail on Sunday, please pray for and support Karen and all of the Darlington nurses.

Can you see this for what it is yet? Or do you still think the vulnerable people in this scenario are those enjoying themselves by trying to intimidate girls and women as they go in and out of a public bathroom?

This breaks my heart. Women are called 'brave' when they appear to have put their trauma aside in an attempt to secure justice, not just for themselves, but for all women. The world doesn't see the trauma continuing to eat them from inside. A tragedy. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

'Trans women' are male. If they weren't male they wouldn't be 'trans'. Prejudice is an irrational fear or dislike. It is entirely rational to state that a man is a man. Only totalitarians and religious zealots insist that others parrot falsehoods on pain of retribution.

If this despicable misogyny appeared at right-wing events, it’d be taken as proof that conservatives hate women. But since the protesters are "progressive" child-sterilization enthusiasts & self-attracted porn addicts, the misogyny is ignored—or even seen as brave and righteous.
What gets me about this obvious misogyny is that no one at the top of the movement — trade unions, charities, big activists, politicians who speak at these rallies— ever condemns it. Even noticing it is treated as falling for a right wing trap.

Either you think lesbians should be allowed to exclude heterosexual men from their meetings, or you are a homophobe who thinks the desires of fetishistic straight male cross-dressers trump the rights of same-sex attracted women. There is no third option.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! In Canada women still don’t have equal pay. And women who complain about men in their single-sex spaces are silenced. #Canada still has a long way to go. #womenmatter

Trump's #annexation of #Canada comments have spurred me to cancel my #Netflix and #HBO subscriptions and boycott American products generally. No more trips to the US either. Hey Donald, leave Canada alone! #cdnpoli #CanadaStrongAndFree

I hope Canadians can read a story similar about @JustinTrudeau stepping down after his ignoring of women, reality, and democratic rights soon. archive.is/2023.02.16-001908…

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous. Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids. Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters. When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was. Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs. The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.
